Nippon Gases Norway has confirmed it will supply In-Line 630 oxygen dissolvers for phase 2 of the 36,000-tonne annual fish farm operated by the Icelandic company LAXEY.
LAXEY is developing its facility in the traditional seafood community of Vestmannaeyjar, an ideal location for this type of delivery. The company confirmed in April that it had completed the first of its six-phase development plan.
